Fun With A Frustrated Coach …

The thing that's obstructing the scoreboard is another backboard's support system.

Thanks. But why does the clock tick from 1:00 to 6:59 in the fourth period? Odd that that adds up to eight minutes.

It doesn't. The digit for 7 minutes is obscured at the top, then the same happens with the top part of the 6. I watched this whole game and another at the same venue; the scoreboard operates properly. When it's under a minute, the two, left-most positions are the seconds, and the third position from the left is the tenths.

If I could figure out how to shrink pictures on this forum, I would include them.

Got it. Thanks.

I would need more context honestly. If that is all they did, probably not. If they said something to me, then sure I might be more likely to consider a T. But if this is the first incident, it would not likely come from me in this case, if I even saw this at all.

Peace

Best I can do, so far:

clock at 7:01

clock at 6:59

You can see the support system in a different place than the original video.

Good start.

Better: Log on to your Flickr Photostream.
Double left click on the photo that you want to post on the Forum.
Bottom right: Click downward arrow icon (Download This Photo).
Left click on View All Sizes.
Left click to select a size (for example Medium 500 (500 × 374)).
Right click on image to select Copy Image Address.
Paste image address into Forum post (yellow and gray mountain and sun Insert Image icon).

Voilà (pardon my French).

1. to HC for audibly voicing his displeasure at a female ref partner's reluctance to call a foul when his player clearly "chucked" the ball up looking for "bail out" call--then there being no call, this HC said, quite loudly: "somebody please help HER out!"

2. to player cursing to another player on his same team; and this occurred at a Catholic highschool no less!

3. to HC for repetitive demonstrative exclamations of: " 8 fouls to 2 fouls--are you kidding me!?" I admit that the first time he said it, I stopped the clock and documented a "warning notice" in the scorebook, then he persisted (ostensibly believing that I didn't have the gumption to tech him up).

4. to player for turning to me and loudly exclaiming--after said player missed a bunny layup under defensive pressure--"c'mon ref that's a foul!"; this despite his teammate telling him to "STFU you're always complaining".

Quite to my surprise, sometimes when I'm driving home from a game I will think over certain scenarios from the game and to be honest, there were more times that I "passed" on issuing a technical foul when in retrospect I should've issued one.


*In summary, it seems that my threshold for imposing technical fouls is lower when a HC doing/saying things that imply that I am biased/unfair and also when they berate a female partner(s). Oh and before I close, in the video subject of this thread, I'd have issued and documented a "formal warning" at minimum for slapping the score table; however, I could've gone straight to a tech depending on the gestalt.

Use Google Images (searches for internet photos based on a photo rather than words). Click on the camera icon. Load your photo (internet address or from your hard drive). See if there are Medium or Small versions of the photo on the internet. Right click and copy photo's internet address. Post smaller photo on the Forum using the Forum Insert Image icon.

It's an amazing tool. I came across a flower that I wanted to know the name of. Took a photo, put it on my hard drive, used Google Images, found a similar photo, clicked on the website that contained the photo of the flower, got the name of the flower, Celosia (Cockscomb). So easy a caveman can do it. I use it a lot to find better photos (better than the photos that I first find) for the articles that I write on our kayak paddle group website describing history, geography, ecology, etc., of the locations that we paddle and visit.

To post your own photos on the Forum, use an image hosting website, like Flickr (I'm sure that there are others), to post your photos (set up an account, set a password, and use cloud upload icon), which will generate an internet address for them. Again, right click on the Flickr (or other) photo to get an internet address and copy and paste the photo's internet address to the Forum. Easy peasey lemon squeezy.
